Child Benefit recipients are set to receive next month's payment a couple of days earlier than usual due to a schedule shake up thanks to the upcoming Easter weekend bank holiday
Due to the Easter weekend bank holiday, banks and post offices are closed on Monday the 1st of April.
The schedule shake up comes as the government prepare to roll out a major update to Child Benefit from the 1st of May.The measure was originally due to be implemented from September, however legislation has now passed to make it earlier. The parent/guardian does not need to reapply if the child is in full-time education and the Department holds a current education certificate. The payment will be reactivated from May 2024 as long as the certificate is valid, and payment will continue for as long as a valid education certificate is in place or the child turns 19, whichever comes first.
